Automatic CPR belt
Project Area of Specialization Mechatronics EngineeringProject SummaryCPR is a progression of life-saving activities that increases the odds of endurance following heart failure. In this issue, the nature of the CPR matters a great deal, greater quality CPR will build the odds of endurance however an individual physically can't give such quality. Because of these reasons, computerizing the CPR movement can build the endurance chance as a machine can give great quality CPR reliably. The fundamental point is ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Blood Circulation) to the imperative organs and brain for endurance increment. We will devise a programmed CPR machine comprising of a belt to guarantee a similar number of compressions and decompressions are given to the patient that is as indicated by AHA (American Heart Association). To computerize the belt, we will utilize a pneumatic operated valve that will fill fixes and discharge air precipitously. While the device is working, perhaps the main thing is to screen the patient's wellbeing. For that reason, we will have feedback from the patient by utilization of sensors, for example, Pulse Sensor and so forth, that will give us the condition of the patient. As per the feedback from the patient, the machine will adjust itself.
Project ObjectivesOur main objectives are Compression rate/depth, Force applied whether pointed or distributed, Actuation System, location, etc. To achieve no. of compressions we use a highpressure pneumatic that will provide the fast compression rate and required force for depth. Manual CPR the location, we already pack our patches at a fixed position exact on the sternum.The device should be able to operate correctly in case of cardiac arrest or an emergency and it should be able to cover a large group of people regarding the age such as from a teenager to an old person without any harmful effect.The main aim is that the device should be operated in ambulances, but we will try to make it more portable so that it can be used in the houses in case of immediate emergency and during the time, the patient is brought to the ambulance, the device will be able to provide CPR to the patient and hence, the survival chance increases.The device should be able to cover a large group of people regarding the age such as from a teenager to an old person without any harmful effect.
Project Implementation MethodThis is the most important phase of our project as the implementation should be proper as it is a life-saving product. At first, the device will observe the patient condition by different sensors and by monitoring all the important parameters such as heart rate, breathing rate, chest size etc., it will operate and the parameters such as force required, compression depth, compression rate etc. will depend on the patient condition. There will be a control panel to control certain things and a monitor screen to keep an eye on the patient heartbeat, breathing rate etc. The device will be easy to handle and operate. The information and data that will be fed into the device will be collected from some medical sources and research that at what parameters the device should operate at this chest size, heart rate etc.
As the product is a real time feedback device and will act upon the data received from the patient, but it might not be possible for us to test it on a person so probably we will make a setup that will provide different conditions similar to that of a patient in case of cardiac arrest and thus will check the response of the system. The main aim will be to check the system response in different scenarios that whether the device is taking continuous feedback or not and is it changing the force, depth, and other parameters according to the condition. The testing can also be done using a mannequin with different dimensions to check the device operation.
Benefits of the ProjectMissing Elements in Existing Devices:
Mechanical chest compression devices are increasingly used during CPR. They provide uninterrupted and reliable chest compressions and may lead to a better outcome compared with manual chest compressions. But the device must be efficient, reliable, and effective.
But during the recent years, while using these devices, there are cases reported regarding injuries. In case of LUCAS, there are few cases related to Sternal fracture, rib fracture, lung, and liver injury. In case of autopulse, few cases of liver and spleen injury have been reported. However, the cases are relatively less but the devices should be made more efficient so that safety is ensured completely.
The existing devices cover the area around the heart and thus applies the procedure of CPR at that area. So, the multiple patch systems compressing different areas of body parts such as the legs to improve the blood circulation is not being done yet.
Solution to the Missing Elements:
Avoiding the injuries or any complications during the CPR procedure is the first priority and thus for this, the materials that will be soft and flexible that will not be harmful to any person and the compression, force and other parameters will be decided on the basis of the medical information that will be collected from different hospitals and the given general CPR guidelines.
There will be sensors attached and the patient condition will be monitored through the sensors and thus the device will operate and will make changes according to the feedback from the patient. Multiple pneumatic patches will be made and operated so that the blood circulation will be better in the body and thus the chances of the survival increases.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThere are two most important deliverables of this project:
-
The device should be able to operate correctly in case of cardiac arrest or an emergency and it should be able to cover a large group of people regarding the age such as from a teenager to an old person without any harmful effect.
-
The main aim is that the device will be capable of using in ambulances, but we will try to make it more portable so that it can be used in the houses in case of immediate emergency and during the time, the patient is brought to the ambulance, the device will be able to provide CPR to the patient and hence, the survival chance increases.
